Alternatively, payment may be handled through Ko-fi's payment system in the case of ordering through Ko-fi, or through Square's payment system in the case of ordering in person and making payment via square reader.
After the invoice has been sent, payment must be sent through within 24 hours unless negotiated. Failure to do so will result in any ‘slot’ or ‘high bid’ to go to the next request or the next highest bidder in the case of an auction, or a refund and termination of commission, which is up to the artist’s discretion.Payment must be in the designated currency the artist requires. Any other form of currency may be refunded and a correct currency payment may be requested again.Tips are always welcome before or after a commission has been completed. If sending a tip via PayPal, please also send as "goods and services" on Paypal even if the commission has already been paid for.Commission Turnaround PeriodIn commissioning the artist, the commissioner acknowledges that other commitments the artist has may take precedence over commissioned artwork.This includes but is not limited to real life tasks, outside work, personal art (including gift art and submissions to competitions and events) and other artwork commissioned.You the commissioner will be given an estimated turnaround at the time of the commission request, and will be informed of any delays.Work-In-Progress ImagesA work in progress (WIP) image will be supplied to the commissioner for approval after the sketch stage and colouring stage of the commission unless explicitly stated in the case of commission types that do not provide WIP images.It is up to the commissioner to request any changes before approving the WIP images, the artist is under no obligation to make changes once the relevant WIP drawing has been approved by the customer.Completed CommissionAfter completion, the original commissioner alone is entitled to an unwatermarked, high resolution copy of the commission. Distributing this artwork to anyone, including a possible new owner of the commissioned character is FORBIDDEN.
The reason for this is to keep artist credit in tact during character trades.If you no longer have any use of, or no longer own the character, the original unwatermarked copy of the artwork MUST BE DESTROYED.Completed commissions are for PERSONAL USE ONLY.The owner of the commissioned character will retain all rights to their character, however the artist retains full rights over any commissioned artwork.The artist retains the right to use any commissioned artwork including but not limited to usage in commission examples, the artist’s portfolio and printed forms of these mediums.The commissioner is free to use the commissioned work in a non commercial way, including printing the work for personal use, saving the work to their devices for use as wallpapers or in an art collection folder, or using the way the artist has depicted the commissioned character for reference or inspiration in future transactions with other artists.*Under no circumstance is the commissioner allowed to claim that the artwork was their own creation.*Tracing of the artist’s work is not allowed.RefundsOnce payment for a commission has been made, a refund may be requested as long as no work has begun. This includes any sketch work which may not have been shown to the commissioner yet. A partial refund may be negotiated on a case-by-case basis.If the buyer is unhappy with the end result of the commission, communicating in a polite and unaggressive manner to the artist is the best way to resolve any issues. The artist will take the time to listen and work out any issues within reason but please respect the final decision of the artist.If an extreme condition arises in which the artist is physically or mentally unable to complete the commission, a full or partial refund will be given depending on the situation.Chargebacks/Paypal DisputesIf the artist receives a chargeback or dispute claim from the commissioner using paypal, the commissioner will be blacklisted from further transactions, will lose ALL rights to past and present commissioned art, and will be named and shamed on areas of public interest.Legal action and dispute claims may also be filed depending on the severity.Chargebacks and disputes for work that has already been completed is considered fraud and is an illegal practice.CommunicationThe artist will endeavour to remain a point of contact throughout the entire transaction.If the commissioner holds any concerns or problems about the state of the commissioned work, they are to contact the artist directly through Discord (Birbloom), Telegram (@Birbloom) or through email at [email protected].If the commissioner at any point breaks this contract, the artist reserves the right to bar the commissioner from doing any further business with them.
